Chapter 31 People Can't Be Compared
Zhang Lin put the bandage back on his head.
After taking the marrow cleansing pill, her wounds have completely healed and her internal injuries have also recovered long ago.
Even with the existence of the 'grandfather', she doesn't need to rack her brains to come up with excuses even if the injury heals.
But she still decided to wait for two more days until it was almost time to go to the hospital for a follow-up check before telling her grandparents.
Bang!
Zhang Lin casually broke off a piece of wood that was piled in the corner of the yard.
The piece of wood was about as thick as an adult's arm, and Zhang Lin broke it as easily as breaking a toothpick, with no effort at all.
Zhang Lin rushed into his father's room excitedly and casually lifted up the three-drawer table, which was about the same size as the one in his hometown, with one hand.
Yo!
It’s at least ten times easier than back home!
Zhang Lin was very satisfied.
Now, even if there were twenty adult men of similar size to her father, their combined strength would not be as great as hers.
Use your photographic memory!
Zhang Lin could see a flash of white light, and her mind became clearer and she felt more agile.
Zhang Lin randomly found one of his father's old high school textbooks, read a few pages, and then closed his eyes to recall.
Sure enough, I remembered every word in my mind.
I remember every detail of every illustration clearly...
Mom, this was my dream when I was in school last life. Now she has made it come true even before I start school.
If I don’t become a top student when I go to school, it would be a waste of talent.
Zhang Lin smiled widely.
After putting the book away, Zhang Lin went to the kitchen and took out 100 kilograms of black pork that he had just harvested. He cut it into small pieces, about one kilogram per piece.
The wild boar meat that was cut into several large pieces at the other end of the space was also cut one by one.
Zhang Lin changed her clothes, took out the spare key from the drawer, put the smallest backpack and a large basket in the house into the space, and locked the door.
Zhang Lin made sure that there were no pedestrians in front or behind him before he came to the blind spot at the corner of the alley.
Use a Disguise Charm.
Zhang Lin chose to become a woman in her forties.
She had two very short ponytails on both sides of her body, her skin was yellowish with a hint of black, and her appearance was not distinctive at all. She was the kind of person that no one would even glance at if she were seen on the street.
The clothes and styles are in line with the county style of this era.
Zhang Lin nodded with satisfaction, walked leisurely through the other two alleys, and appeared on the street.
Today, she will first familiarize herself with the county town of this era.
Walk along the streets and come to the river.
The human-powered ferry at the small pier by the river was already full of people and slowly set off.
Zhang Lin sat down on a big rock on the beach and looked across.
Across the street is her mother's house in her previous life.
Behind the pier across the river is the commune where my grandmother lives. Behind the commune street is the only normal school in the county, which later became an undergraduate college.
When I was a child, although there was no commune anymore, that street was very busy because of the school.
They and their cousins often hang out in the Internet cafes and game rooms there.
The elders all went to the market on the pier of the small river...
"Alas, my mother is only six years old now, and her life is hard..."
Zhang Lin was a little anxious. Although in his previous life, when he was in elementary school, business was not good, so his mother went out to work.
In addition, the mother was busy with work and lived far away from them, which resulted in the three of them not being close enough.
But at least they didn't have to drop out of school to work. Regardless of their grades, they all finished college, which was still very hard.
Both sisters are very grateful to their mother.
My mother has eight siblings in total. There are many children in the family, and thanks to my grandfather, he is very capable and has many skills.
He was a carpenter, stonemason, and had other skills. He also served as a team leader, and managed to raise several children. In an era when many children were starving to death or given away, not a single child was lost and all survived.
But life was hard. With ten mouths to feed in the family and also having to take care of his brother's family, life was very difficult.
Looking at the watch on his wrist, Zhang Lin sighed.
It's almost half past ten. It's time for her to go back.
I'll find a chance next time and cross the river to have a look.
"Serve the people! Hey, this watch is new!"
An old lady who had got off the ferry earlier and was carrying a backpack was sitting next to a big rock to rest. When Zhang Lin looked at the time, she noticed her watch with her sharp eyes.
Zhang Lin's heart moved and he smiled so hard that his mouth split open.
"Civilize the spirit, and brutalize the body!
Alas, it’s because the son is filial. "
"My two sons both started working. During the Chinese New Year, they both wanted to show their filial piety to me. They kept silent and quietly spent half a year's salary to buy two watches..."
Oh my god, I saw my grandma working at the post office before. Every person who came in would say a quote first.
She memorized a few sentences out of curiosity, adding the few sentences she knew in her previous life, otherwise, she would really be dumbfounded.
Fortunately, there are no such crazy popular sayings in their county now.
In the past, I had to add this sentence before every sentence.
It’s still okay now. Generally, I only add a quote in important occasions or when a stranger speaks the first sentence.
They are far away here and are much looser in this regard.
When the aunt heard this, her eyes turned red with jealousy.
"Hey, the eldest sister looks very young, only about 40 years old, and both of her sons are working."
Damn, I'm so mad!
People just can't be compared.
Look at other people, they enjoy the blessing of their sons at a young age, but she is already old, and her youngest son’s marriage almost emptied her family.
The girl is just from a county town, why would she need to go through all the formalities?
Their family couldn't afford so much, so after much persuasion, they were able to get two transfers.
Watches and sewing machines.
Their family has gritted their teeth and bought a sewing machine.
The watch ticket is so difficult to get. The time to propose marriage is approaching, but there is no sign of the watch.
Her little son was always angry with her, and I remember her hair was falling out in clumps.
When she heard that Zhang Lin had two watches, her aunt's eyes lit up and her eyeballs rolled around.
"That's right. I was the first one to get married on our street. I gave birth to my first child when I was 16. Now I can't enjoy the happiness..."
Zhang Lin didn't even blink and spoke very seriously.
"Sister, you are so lucky."
The aunt smiled dryly, hesitated for a while, and then said shamelessly: "Girl, I don't know if your other watch is men's or women's."
Zhang Lin immediately looked at his aunt warily, frowning.
"Sister, what do you want to do? Why do you care whether I am a man or a woman? It has nothing to do with you."
When the aunt saw Zhang Lin wanted to get up and leave, she hurriedly grabbed her sleeve.
Tears come suddenly.
"Big sister, you don't know how difficult it is for me..."
Soon after, the son went to the county town as a temporary worker and met a girl from the county town. They fell in love with each other.
Why is the woman asking for so much, and it's not easy for her, blah blah blah...
Zhang Lin curled his lips when he heard this.
"Sister, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but for my son's wedding, you only gave two of the three turns. The woman is already very generous."
“Yes, yes, yes!”
When the aunt saw Zhang Lin sitting back down, she nodded excitedly.
